If a monument has been in place for decades then it should not lightly be rejected because the corner must become finally settled and not continually readjusted. Even where a long established monument is founded in an error but if it would create more distress and confusion by disregarding it than it would to place it in the correct location then it should be left in repose.
There is a Maryland case where the court wrote that it’s inconsequential if the pipe in question was originally set with the intent to mark the corner based on the math in the deed because, over time, it had acquired a “reputation” in the neighborhood as marking the corner.
